The massive body of the golden python followed closely, splashing a huge wave three meters high. Xiao Yifei barely dodged the attack, but the situation instantly became unfavorable.

In the battle on the trees, Xiao Yifei could leverage his agility to maneuver left and right, dodging the golden python's attacks while seizing opportunities to counterattack. Despite needing close combat, this guerrilla warfare style minimized the dangers for Xiao Yifei.

But now the situation between Xiao Yifei and the golden python was completely reversed. Pythons prefer wet and hot environments and are better in water. Moreover, the surroundings were cleared by the golden python, removing all cover, and Xiao Yifei could no longer use his agility.

The golden python moved like a fish in water, revealing its crimson tongue, its narrow eyes slightly squinting, thinking about how to torment this prey. Yet, Xiao Yifei had not given up. He stared intently at the damaged part of the golden python's body, planning how to add a few more scars.

Perhaps extremely annoyed by this atmosphere, the golden python initiated the attack, lowering its body, opening its jaws wide and displaying fang-like teeth, launching an attack on Xiao Yifei.

Xiao Yifei, in the water and soaked, found his speed significantly slowed, while the golden python, moving like a fish in water, reached extreme speed, closing in an instant, with its gaping maw heading straight for Xiao Yifei's face.

Xiao Yifei had nowhere to dodge, so he exerted force with both hands, one up, one down, desperately prying the golden python's mouth open, reaching a momentary balance where neither could advance. The atmosphere instantly became a standoff.

The stench rushed at him, making Xiao Yifei nauseous, but he knew that if he released his grip, he would end up swallowed into the golden python's belly, so he mustered all his strength to keep the python's mouth open, although he was reaching his limit.

Just then, a cunning glint appeared in the golden python's eyes. Xiao Yifei sensed something was wrong, heard a rustling water sound, and looked down to find the python's tail had silently slid under his feet.

A cold and sticky sensation attacked him.

"Damn it!"

The golden python's tail had quietly wrapped around Xiao Yifei's ankle, and his heart sank.

Xiao Yifei had been wrong from the start, always thinking of himself as an equal combatant against the golden python, not realizing that in the python's eyes, he had always just been prey.

And the method pythons use to deal with their prey has always been strangulation throughout history.

Soon, the golden python's tail began to move upward, making Xiao Yifei feel a huge force binding him, barely preventing any movement, as if his bones were about to crack, forcing him to release his grip on the python's jaws.

The golden python, seeing its sneak attack succeed, gleamed with cunning, boastfully flicking its crimson tongue while wrapping Xiao Yifei into its embrace.

"Ah! You coward, put me down and fight me again!"

Xiao Yifei struggled to utter a harsh word, but if there were anyone present, they would notice that the supposed harsh words sounded very pale at this moment.

The golden python, not understanding a word, assumed it was a plea for mercy, making its vanity even more satisfied, planning to torment this prey well before devouring him.

The python quickly coiled around Xiao Yifei's throat, bringing a suffocating feeling.

The python's strangulation force exceeded hundreds of kilograms, making Xiao Yifei feel like living death, with all his bones creaking. Fighting against the python's strangulation force, his consciousness quickly began to blur due to the thinning air.

"Alas, I never imagined my death would be so tragic, strangled by a prehistoric giant python in the Ten Thousand Mountains, swallowed into its belly, and digested into a puddle of waste water over several days. There could be no more tragic way to die in this world," Xiao Yifei thought.

Xiao Yifei gradually began to give up resistance, with his limbs deformed by the python's squeeze. In the haze, he saw the python opening its bloody maw to attack him. Nonetheless, Xiao Yifei could not fight back and resigned himself to becoming the python's next meal.

With a feeling of despair, Xiao Yifei closed his eyes and lost consciousness as a stinky breeze came over him.

At this moment, fourteen Biwei Silver Needles long dormant within his body reacted, sensing their host's extremity. The main and subsidiary needles of both hands started swiftly shuttling in Xiao Yifei's body, emitting warm green light, visibly repairing his crushed bones and organs.

The golden python paused seeing the changes on Xiao Yifei's body, its gaping mouth suspended in the air, momentarily unsure whether to bite or not, slightly loosening its grip on Xiao Yifei's body.

"Heavens have not forsaken Xiao Yifei!"

Xiao Yifei bellowed with laughter, unwilling to miss this heaven-sent opportunity. Feeling his inner power restored to peak status, with damage healed by the Biwei Silver Needles, he suddenly exerted force with his arms, breaking free from the python's hold, and with a kick, leapt into the air.

Seeing the prey by its mouth miraculously revive, the golden python felt as if ten thousand horses were galloping in its mind, full of confusion.

Xiao Yifei gave it no time to think, using all his qi to punch the python's face: "Xiao's massage lesson isn't over, you dog thief! You still want to eat the practitioner? Damn you!"

The python crashed into the water with a loud splash, scales flying off its face from the punch, scattering in all directions.

But that wasn't all. Taking advantage of the python's stunned state, Xiao Yifei jumped into the water, straddled the python, and with his arms swelling with blue light, he rained punches down on its body while clamping it tightly with his legs to keep it immobile.

After about twenty or thirty punches, the python's body began to spasm violently due to immense pain, but struggling under Xiao Yifei's tight grip on its legs, it couldn't break free, only flailing back and forth, causing water to splash everywhere.

Yet, Xiao Yifei remained unmoved, furiously pummeling the python's body, shouting, "Let you eat me, let you eat me!" Another thirty or so punches landed, scattering the scales where he hit, exposing fresh flesh, the dark red blood quickly dyeing the swamp within a twenty-meter radius.

The python emitted strange cries, its once narrow eyes now wide open, raising its head to struggle, incredulously watching Xiao Yifei on its back, ignorant of the human's sudden transformation.

Xiao Yifei continued punching tirelessly, though his qi was flagging after more than a hundred punches. Not wanting to exhaust all his qi and be at others' mercy like in his previous fight with Bloodskin, he stopped, panting heavily.

The golden python seized the chance, its tail swaying desperately, churning mud and water tumultuously. Seeing this, Xiao Yifei quickly leapt off the python's back, while it immediately counterattacked in a swift return assault.
